Epik High’s Possible Disbandment

Epik High revealed that talks of disbandment have been going on for some time due to their rise in fame.

Although that might seem nonsensical, the band asserted that as they started in the underground music scene, their original goal was to bring more hip hop music into Korea; anything extra was just gravy. They now feel that their original goal that they started out with has started to fade.

Tablo shared that it becomes difficult to start worrying about advertising the band’s activities on television, and that he wishes he could separate being a musician from being an on screen performer and retire the latter role if possible.

This offers a perspective about Korean singers in general, who as Tablo says, are expected to release new albums, promote them heavily through the media, then work on releasing another album in hopes of raking in the profits. According to Tablo, this is burdensome and clashes with his ideals of a true musician.

I can understand why they want to disband. Making music is not simply making music anymore. I heard they have been talking about disbanding like a lot so this might be just talks... Dunno. I think that their newest album wasn't that good, something was missing. Epik High is becoming too mainstream, too pop. Whatever happened to those incredibly catchy rap hip hop songs?
